Ang multi-awarded Filipino director na si Adolf Alix Jr. ang dahilan kaya nagkaroon ng pagkakataon sina Bela Padilla at Enchong Dee na magpakuha ng litrato kasama ang international stars na kanilang hinahangaan.
Lumipad si Adolf sa Cannes, France, noong May 16, 2023 para dumalo sa 76th Cannes Film Festival at para sa mga meeting niyang may kinalaman sa kanyang mga susunod na proyekto.
“I’m in Cannes for meetings for my projects for possible co-production and distribution including Pieta, which is now in post-production, and siyempre to watch films!
“Breather na rin before I start taping my new series sa GMA, Atty. Lilet Matias with Jo Berry.
"I arrived here May 16 and will be back in Manila on the 26th," pagbabalita ni Adolf nang makausap siya ng Cabinet Files, sa pamamagitan ng Facebook Messenger, ngayong Martes ng gabi, May 23.
Pinasalamatan ni Bela si Adolf sa Instagram post ng actress-director dahil nakapagpakuha siya ng larawan kasama ang Korean superstar na si Song Joong Ki.
Inalam namin mula kay Adolf ang kuwento tungkol sa hindi inaasahang engkuwentro nila sa South Korean superstar noong Lunes, May 22.
“He has a film in the Un Certain Regard section of Cannes entitled Hopeless,” sabi ni Adolf tungkol sa partisipasyon ni Song Joong-ki sa 76th Cannes Film Festival.
“My producer, Arleen Cuevas and I were on our way to our next meeting when we accidentally saw Song.
"I remember him because my production make-up artist, Ericka, asked me to see episodes of Vincenzo kaya I remembered him.
“He was very warm and accommodating. He even took the phone of Arleen to take the selfie.
"He asked where we are from and when we said we’re from the Philippines, he smiled.
“Then after that, a few meters, I saw Bela. And knowing that she loves K-dramas, I told her that Song is here.
"And after a few minutes, he passed by in front of us, so I told Bela, ‘Ayun siya.’ And Bela went to him and, again, he was very nice.”
Ang pagtatagpo nina Song Joong-ki at Bela ay kinaiinggitan ngayon ng mga kapwa aktres ni Bela gaya nina Kim Chiu, Mariel Rodriguez, at Angelica Panganiban.
Malaki rin ang kinalaman ni Adolf kaya nagkaroon si si Enchong ng photo-op sa Academy Award winning actress na si Cate Blanchett sa screening ng New Boy.

Ito naman ang kuwento ni Adolf na kanyang ibinahagi sa Cabinet Files:
“Enchong wanted to experience watching a film in Cannes so I got him a ticket to see the new film of Cate Blanchett, New Boy.
“First time kasi ni Enchong sa Cannes and luckily our seat was behind Cate so we were able to take photos and he asked Cate for a selfie. Mabait din naman si Cate and she said yes.
“Every time I go to Cannes, there is always that moment where you meet actors and directors from all over the world.
“You just feel happy to see them and remember their work. Surreal lang minsan because they are there in the flesh, talking to you.”
